Swift half news - 29th June 2010

  • A few dragonflies have zoomed through the garden in the heat, but still none have stayed (apart from that black tail a week or so ago, and even that didn't stay long enough for me to grab the camera!)
  • A wonderful night for moths last night (overcast, still, sultry) produced my second elephant hawk moth, a broad-barred white, plenty of heart and darts (and clubs), plenty of yellow underwings and buff ermines, plenty of unidentified moths (remember - I'm a self-confessed moth snob!) and a lovely "figure of eighty" moth -photo below.


GO FIGURE

  • First (of the year) Comma butterfly in garden yesterday
  • Tonight, the (allegedly) wounded Yala brought down an adult female sparrow and played ectastically with it, until Malu took it off her and growled at anyone who got close!
